Recreational Rescue Diver Courses
The term "Rescue Diver" in all recreational diving training agencies mainly means self rescue or buddy rescue under the normal diving conditions that someone would dive, how to avoid accidents by recognizing panicked divers and equipment failures and in case of an accident, basic first aid and how to manage a scene until the professionals arrive. Although these are good courses for improving someone’s diving skills and further progressing in diving education they are not professional courses. However many professional courses would expect a participant to have progressed to that level in the recreational diving before becoming a professional.

Famous quotes containing the words rescue and/or courses:
“To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.”
—June Jordan (b. 1939)
“However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
